Abstract

Anorexia nervosa is the disorder characterized by marked weight loss, food refusal, and amenorrhea. It is common disorder among young women in Western societies and is believed to be relatively rare outside Western culture. The author report two cases of female adolescents who presented with atypical features, i.e., the patients acknowledged their thinness and did not demonstrate fear of obesity. Reports from several Oriental countries support the notion that these atypical features are not uncommon among Eastern subjects.
